Training

TACC offers various training classes in high performance computing (HPC), scientific visualization (SciVis), distributed and grid computing (DGC), and computational cluster management. TACC training classes teach the programming principles and techniques in HPC and SciVis as well as how to use TACC's high-end systems most effectively. Much of the content in TACC training classes is useful for users using TACC resources as well as their own local systems (e.g. clusters and graphics workstations/PCs).

TACC training classes are free to the UT Austin, UT System, TACC Partner, and Texas Higher Education research communities, participants in the NSF funded XSEDE project, members of the TACC International Partnership in Advanced Computing (IPAC) program, individuals and groups that engage in collaborative research and development activities with TACC, and other public sector organizations. Most levels of the TACC industrial affiliates program, Science and Technology Affiliates for Research (STAR), provide access to all TACC training activities. TACC training classes are also available for a fee to interested persons who are part of the private sector. Please contact info@tacc.utexas.edu for more information about private sector training.
